A beautiful example of common orange lichen aka Xanthoria parietina, also known as maritime sunburst lichen or shore lichen. This species thrives in sunny hardwood forests and on exposed sea cliffs, where bird droppings provide a rich source of nitrogen. Incredibly tolerant of air pollution and heavy metal contamination, it can be used as a bioindicator to measure things like air quality and acid rain 🪸
